Beautiful arthouse theatre with a full bar and food. You bring your food in with you and all the seats are reserved. The front row even has la-z-boy type armchairs with a foot rest for maximum comfort. Bottomless popcorn and soda.

Cute locally owned movie theater

I’d like to start by saying that I’m a graveyard shift worker. They had a 9 AM showing and I get off work at 7 AM. When we arrived at the theater, things weren’t quite ready. They were having trouble with the popcorn machine.. let’s just say the two ladies that were working I believe one was in Tracy. I did not get the other ladies name. They went above and beyond to make sure we have the best experience as soon as the popcorn machine was fixed, they brought us popcorn the cocktails were amazing. They really went above and beyond, and I think they should be recognized because I have been waiting to see wicked all year and they made this experience so comfortable so nice and everything. I hoped it would be thank you to the ladies that open the violet crown in the morning you guys really knock it out of the park and took care of me in my partner.! Blessings and stay well

It's been a while since I've been here, but I went last night. Good drink selection. Used to have better soft drinks. Now it's just Coke products. Boo. Pizza is new, and that's nice. Good theatre set-up. Very modern, but somewhat spartan. I'm okay with that. They show more interesting films than mainstream theatres.

I used to love it here. Walked in today and it's dirty, from the cinema itself to the bar area.

A cool and funky small theater in west downtown near a bunch of good restaurants. They tend to have a good selection of eclectic films and it is generally not busy during the day on weekdays. They provide 4 hours of free parking.

Nice theatre experience. Comfortable recliner seats, good screen & sound. Menu is small, but the food is good.

Was catching a quick movie after Dreamcon. The staff were phenomenaly friendly, the drinks were perfect, and honestly a high recommend for anyone coming in to town.

Violet Crown Cinema is an iconic and unique escape in downtown Austin, offering a clean and cozy atmosphere perfect for quality films. The incredibly friendly bartender crafted a solid spicy margarita, adding to the delightful experience. With good parking options and validation, convenience is a plus. While there’s always room for a bit more magic, it’s definitely a must-visit for film enthusiasts.

Lovely cinema in the heart of Austin. Grab yourself a beer and popcorn and sit back and relax and enjoy the show.
